Who should consult a specialist before using the hot water bottle? — Rubber heating bag 2 - OLKO

The OLKO hot water bottle is intended for household warming and is not a medical device. However, local heat does not suit everyone equally, and in some situations it is advisable to consult a specialist beforehand.

This is especially relevant if you have:

• Impaired skin sensitivity: with diabetes, some neurological conditions or after injuries a person may not feel overheating in time.
• Pronounced irritation, damage or inflammation of the skin in the area intended for use.
• Pregnancy, especially when the bottle is applied to the abdomen or lower back.
• Chronic diseases in which thermal procedures may be contraindicated.

Children should use the bottle only under adult supervision, always with a protective cover or towel, and check the surface temperature before each application. Elderly people with thin or sensitive skin are also advised to use an extra layer between the bottle and the body.

If you have any doubts about whether warming is suitable in your particular situation, it is better to check with a doctor. This is a simple precaution that does not take much time.
